Connecting a Root Navigation Controller in Swift Using Storyboard

By default, Capacitor apps are embedded in a CAPBridgeViewController. To utilize the "push" type for presenting portals, it is necessary to embed the app within a navigation controller.

Step 1: Open the Main Storyboard​

  1. In the project navigator, locate and open the Main.storyboard file.

Step 2: Add a Navigation Controller​

  1. Drag and drop a "Navigation Controller" from the Object Library onto the storyboard canvas.
  1. The navigation controller will come with an attached view controller. Remove the attached view controller and add a root view controller seugue from the navigation controller to the bridge view controller.

Step 3: Set the Initial View Controller​

  1. Set the navigation controller as the initial view controller.

Step 4: Customize the Navigation Controller​

  1. To remove the navigation bar, set "Top Bar" to "None" in the Simulated Metrics section of the navigation controller.
